Man I love ePub
Posted on Sun, 14 Nov 2010 in Books
I
recently listened to a very interesting
podcast from the
Pragmatic Programmers featuring an
interview with Uncle Bob. At
the end they talked about a book
Robert had
recommended at the most recent
RailsConf called
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs.
It's an older book but it sounded like a really interesting read - and as a lot of languages are in the process of rediscovering the concepts of Lisp and Smalltalk - it's quite relevant too. To my luck the book is available under the Creative Commons license1 and this nice fellow had gone to the trouble of converting it into a really nice2 ePub formatted ebook.
The book now lives in Stanza on my iPhone along with a bunch of other ebooks that I can now carry with me everywhere I go - Never again will I be without reading material while waiting for stuff3 to happen.
-
A huge Thank you! to MIT for making this material available for all to read! ↩
-
All that was missing was the cover, but that was easily added in Stanza ↩
-
Waiting in line at the supermarket, waiting at the doctors office, waiting for the bus and all those other wasted hours and minutes that litter our everyday lives ↩
